can anyone else add to this topic? on the rarity scale for Mosins on the website 7.62x54R.net they list them as an 8 out of 10 for rarity 10 being very very rare 1 being very common I guess, what price range would one put them in?
 
I figured as much, the only thing that sets them apart as a rarity I think is thier use in the Spanish civil war, in 1936 and 1937 they were shiped right off the assembly line stright to Spain, im assuming the survival rate of them was rather low hence the other reason they'd be rare.
 
no pics yet ...it has spanish top wood and it has the early made in stamp they stamped on them before export to north america, made in USSR also its un arsenaled and tula 1937
 
Can't say I've seen any on this side of the border except I believe one surfaced during Wolverine's surplus sale (though I might be mistaken). South of the border these come up from time to time and usually go for about the same price as a nice Finn Mosin depending upon condition. Last one I saw was about $450-475 USD but was very, very nice with an intact flaming bomb stamp, Soviet stamp and in unmolested overall condition.

Here's a link to a SCW Mosin site: http://scwmosin.weebly.com/index.html

My bad. The SCW rifle that surfaced during Wolverine's Surplus Sale was a scrubbed Polish Wz 29 mauser not a Mosin Nagant. So I guess more rare in Canada.
 
I HAD a 1927 Izhevsk dragoon that was clrealy SCW marked with the flaming bomb. There is a write up on the milsurps.com board under the Russian knowledge library section.

The International Brigades were supplied with MN rifles - the Canadian Mac-Paps and the US Abraham Lincoln Brigades. Serious 20th century history here. Only one I've ever seen was one that a CGN member turned up.
Its my understanding that some of the rifles supplied by the Soviets were the foreign contract ones, not Russian made.
What I would love to find is a Ross IIIB with a Spanish history. Made in Canada, supplied to the UK, given to the Whites, captured by the Reds, sent to the Mac-Paps, taken by the Fascists, then surplused by Spain. THAT'S history.
 
I have owned two and possibly a third one.

- 1891/30 with "Made in USSR" early 1960's Interarms Import

- 1891/30 with M&P 8 buttstock marking, early 1960's Interarms Import

- Just got this one, 1891 rifle no Finn markings or modifications, mismatched dated 1896 with sling swivel still on triggerguard. No spanish markings but possibly also an old Interarms import.
